In December Hervé went to the facility where we are going to manufacture the Home Phone in China to prepare the prototypes that we brought to the CES: he worked very hard so that CES visitors could hear the sound quality of our loudspeaker and it was worth it! </p><p>See the pictures of the first batch of plastic pieces and Herve assembling one of the prototypes.</p><div class="template" data-href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/35606003/Kickstarter%20update%232/First%20batch%20of%20production.JPG"></div><div class="template" data-href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/35606003/Kickstarter%20update%232/Mounting%20the%20prototypes.JPG"></div><p>We are currently working on the adjustment of our patented system to switch to the handsfree mode, so that now it is even smoother than it was at the CES with our prototypes. </p><p>We also validated the first molds for production: half of them are ready, and we are working hard on the others. See the mold used for the front part of the phone.</p><div class="template" data-href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/35606003/Kickstarter%20update%232/Mold%20for%20production%202.JPG"></div><p>We will keep you posted, but in the meantime, please share this email with your friends, co-workers and family! </p><p>Thank you so much for your support! </p><p>Herve &amp; Catherine</p>tag:www.kickstarter.com,2008-10-09:Post/3847952013-01-12T00:06:08-05:002013-01-12T04:14:06-05:00Thank you all!!!
